Smart overview of the Invention

The patent application describes a system where biometric data collected from wearable devices is used to enhance user experiences in an extended reality (XR) environment. The XR device connects with wearable devices, either directly or through a user device, to gather biometric data such as heart rate, temperature, and motion. This data is then used to provide feedback within the XR environment, potentially improving the user's experience through visual, audio, or haptic feedback.

Field of Technology

This invention pertains to wearable devices and data processing technologies, specifically focusing on utilizing biometric data to offer feedback in XR environments. XR encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), or a combination of both. Wearable devices capable of collecting various physiological and movement data play a key role in this system.

Background

Wearable devices like headsets, goggles, and gloves are often used in XR experiences for visual, audio, and haptic interactions. However, existing XR systems may not effectively use biometric data collected by these devices to update the XR environment. This patent addresses this gap by enabling XR devices to utilize biometric data for real-time environment adjustments.

Detailed Description

The system involves wearable devices equipped with sensors that continuously collect physiological data from users. These devices can connect wirelessly with user devices and XR systems to transmit the collected data. Based on this information, the XR device can provide tailored feedback such as visual cues or audio alerts to enhance user interaction within the XR environment.

System Components

The described system includes various electronic devices such as rings, watches, glasses, smartphones, and tablets that collect and process physiological data. These devices communicate over networks using protocols like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The integration of these components allows for seamless data exchange and processing to support enhanced XR experiences through personalized feedback mechanisms.
